Winter Hair Care Tips
- Wear a scarf, hat or cap to protect your hair from the cold and wind. Make sure that it’s not so tight where it will restrict circulation in your scalp.
- Use a conditioner daily.
- Once you have your hair moist, lock in the moisture by running your hair through cold water; this will also give your hair an extra shine.
- Don’t go outside with your hair wet, you risk breakage. Your hair will freeze if it’s cold enough outside and may break.
- Limit your use of “hot” items on your hair such as a blow dryers and curling irons.
- If you need to use a “hot” item use a leave in conditioner before using the item on your hair.
- Avoid taking hot showers or washing your hair in hot water. Use warm or cool water instead, the heat can dry out and/or damage your hair and skin.
- Hair products that have the word, “Replenish” on it is made to moistureize your hair.
- Try using a dry shampoo if you need to wash out your hair. One dry shampoo you can use is baby powder, simply sprinkle some onto your hair and use a comb to comb it off.

Have you ever wondered if those salon shampoos and sprays are really worth the extra cash? Well, we found out in most cases they are. Salon products generally contain higher quality, more expensive ingredients that are designed to consistently provide more intensive cleansing, moisturizing and conditioning results. It is a rare to find drug store products that contain the high quality ingredients that salon products contain. You can, however, try to match certain ingredients found in the higher quality brands to the cheaper ones.

Who wants to fuss with flat irons and curlers while wasting precious sun time this summer? Instead, throw on a cute and trendy head wrap that not only looks cute but also protects your scalp from the sun and covers up frizz. Just look how miss Carrie Bradshaw rocks the head wrap with sexy natural curls, emitting a cool and casual look, perfect for a day at the beach.

Bizarre, yes but its true! I couldn’t believe this when I heard it but a final rinse of beer at the end of your shower will leave you with more voluminous strands. Supposedly, the beer builds up the circumference of the hair shafts giving it more lift. It can also leave hair softer, shiny and possibly help it grow. One caveat: You may smell like a frat house until the scent dissipates. Instead, try a thickening shampoo with hops, like Aussie Real Volume Shampoo ($4). I think I’ll stick with the shampoo!

This is so wrong. Your hair will grow at the same speed with or without a haircut. So if you want to grow it out, simply let it do that. Regular haircuts will help improve the overall health of your hair as well as getting rid of those pesky split ends. But if you are looking for length give it time. It will grow!

We all have those moments where our hair is dirty but we just don’t have the time to wash. Instead rushing through the process of washing and blow-drying, apply a little hair powder (even baby powder) on dry strands, close to the scalp, or sprinkle on a brush and comb through. The powder will absorb excess oil and make hair look less greasy. Getting hair up and off your face can also make you look pulled together quickly. A sleek bun or simple ponytail are always great options, just smooth the ends with no more than a dime-sized drop of styling cream or glossing serum and you’ll have a great polished look. So before you hide under a hat, try these tips.
What are some of your quick fix hair tips?

This week, our Diva Read goes to Bobbi Brown’s new book, Beauty Rules. Personally, I love it! I don’t consider myself a beauty expert, but I know what I like. I’m such a fan of this book. It was created to help young women learn the beauty basics and ultimately find their own style, Beauty Rules, is a great tool to help beauty rookies like myself expand beyond the basics.
In the book, Bobbi shares all of her amazing tips and tricks as well as those from her celebrity friends. She not only covers make-up and hair tips but a variety of lifestyle subjects. Along with easy-to-follow advice for healthy skin, hair, makeup and nails, the comprehensive book also covered fitness, nutrition, self-esteem, and style. It’s definitely a go-to guide to life. She also used real girls as the models for the book to show readers how to emphasize their natural beauty.
As a bonus perk, Bobbi also designed a cute limited-edition Beauty Rules Palette–designed to look like a school notebook–that is full of pretty everyday makeup colors for women of all ages.
Get a copy of Beauty Rules ($25) and the Beauty Rules Face Palette ($45) here!
